Syrian Army: Israeli Jet Shot Down, Another Hit

The Syrian army says it has shot down one of four Israeli warplanes that violated the country’s airspace.

According to the Syrian military, another Israeli jet fighter was also hit by air defense system after the planes carried out several airstrikes on a military base near the city of Palmyra in Homs province. Syria denounced the air raids as an act of aggression aimed at helping Daesh terrorists. This comes as Israel has also confirmed that its aircraft struck several targets in Syria, and that the Syrian army fired several missiles at its jets. Tel Aviv claims none of the Syrian rockets hit the warplanes, and that it intercepted one of the missiles north of Jerusalem al-Quds.
